The patent-pending Redshift Sports Dual-Position Seatpost lets you switch your saddle on-the-fly between a normal road position and an aero position that’s similar to the setup of a tri bike. The steeper effective seat tube angle opens up your hip angle and maintains proper leg extension, letting you ride more comfortably and efficiently in the aero position. Riding a long flat into a headwind? Shift the saddle forward and drop into a wind-cheating aero position. Grinding up a steep climb? Shift the saddle backward and spin comfortably in the road position.

The seatpost is designed to maintain the same pedal-to-saddle length in both positions, ensuring proper leg extension in the road and aero riding positions. Also, since some riders prefer more forward saddle tilt while riding in an aero position, the seatpost includes an additional adjustment that tilts the saddle forward by up to five degrees when you move from the road to the aero position. The mechanism is completely stable in both positions – a spring-loaded stop holds it securely in place until you decide to change positions.

Together with the Redshift Sports Quick-Release Aerobars (sold separately), the Dual-Position Seatpost gives you a truly integrated aero position, without compromising your normal road setup.

The seatpost is constructed from aerospace grade 6061-T6 aluminum alloy. The post is 27.2 mm in diameter by 350 mm in length. Shims (sold separately) can be used to adapt the seatpost to bikes with larger seatpost diameters. The seatpost accepts saddles with standard round 7 mm saddle rails. The seatpost weighs 400 g including all hardware.

The Redshift Sports Quick-Release Aerobars let you transform your road bike into an aerodynamic triathlon machine. The clip-on aerobars attach or remove in seconds (without using any tools), letting you convert from road to aero positions at a moment’s notice. Going for a group ride or a local road race? Remove the aerobars to ride a pure road bike. Doing a triathlon or long charity ride? Attach the aerobars and ride a comfortable aero position.

The patent-pending quick-release clamp locks the aerobars securely in the same position every time you attach them, and the integrated safety retention mechanism ensures that the bars stay locked in place until you decide to remove them. A huge range of adjustability lets you dial in your ideal aero position. Easily change pad width, stack height, and extension reach, and choose between multiple extension shapes to match your riding style.

Together with the Redshift Sports Dual-Position Seatpost (sold separately), the Quick-Release Aerobars give you a truly integrated aero position, without compromising your normal road setup. The optional computer mount and water bottle mount (both sold separately) integrate seamlessly with the aerobars, letting you carry all of your gear effortlessly.

The aerobars are constructed from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminum alloy. They are compatible with 26.0 and 31.8 mm handlebar diameters, and require 22 mm (7/8 inch) of straight cylindrical clamping length on either side of the bicycle stem. The aerobars weigh 630 g (S-bend extensions) or 640 g (L-bend extensions) including the handlebar clamps.

The ShockStop stem does what gloves and extra bar tape can’t: it isolates your upper body from the imperfections of the road, letting you ride further, faster, and more comfortably. The patent-pending ShockStop is designed from the ground up specifically for road and hybrid bikes – the suspension travel, weight, feel, and aesthetics are finely tuned to perfectly complement your bike and the roads you ride on.

ShockStop dramatically improves the quality of your ride, without compromising steering responsiveness or detracting from the aesthetic of the bike. The subtle PurePivot design allows the front end of the bike to move up and down over bumps in the road while your hands follow a smoother path, cushioned by the elastomers inside the stem.

ShockStop’s forged aluminum components are extremely torsionally rigid, so climbing and sprinting feel completely natural. The limited travel provides just enough cushioning, without affecting the geometry or handling of your bike.

So what does it feel like? In a word: smooth. Road buzz is almost completely eliminated and impacts from bumps and cracks are dramatically muted.

ShockStop comes with 5 different Ride-Tuned elastomers so you can precisely adjust the feel. Racers, triathletes, and competitive riders can choose firmer settings to retain a more traditional front-end feel, while commuters, fitness enthusiasts, and endurance riders can dial in a softer feel to maximize comfort.

Compatibility

ShockStop will fit most road, hybrid, and triathlon bikes. If your bike has a threadless stem, then it’s an easy swap. If you’re bike has a quill stem you will also need a separate quill stem adapter.

Steerer Tube (Fork) Diameter: 28.6mm

Handlebar Clamp Diameter: 31.8mm

Note: Handlebars that are swept back towards the rider will limit the effectiveness of the suspension. We do not recommend using ShockStop with handlebars where the hand position (grip) is more than 1″ (25mm) behind the handlebar clamp.

The Redshift Sports Switch aero system lets you switch on-the-fly between a normal road bike position and an aero position that’s similar to the setup of a tri bike. The system includes the patent-pending Quick-Release Aerobars and Dual-Position seatpost. Together, they transform your road bike into an aerodynamic, comfortable triathlon bike, without sacrificing your regular road setup.

The Quick-Release Aerobars can be attached or removed in seconds (without using any tools), letting you convert from road to aero positions at a moment’s notice. The quick-release clamp locks the aerobars securely in the same position every time, and the safety retention mechanism ensures that the bars stay locked in place until you decide to remove them.
